  1. FLUXNET: Measuring CO2 and Water Vapor Fluxes Across a Global Network Dennis Baldocchi ESPM/Ecosystem Science Div. University of California, Berkeley IndoFlux, Chennai, India, July 2006

  2. FLUXNET: From Sea to Shining Sea379 Sites, circa 2006

  3. Global distribution of Flux Towers with Respect to Climate

  4. Evolution of FLUXNET • Measure Annual Cycle of NEE • Micromet issues of Detrending, Transfer Functions, Flux Sampling and Measurements, Gap-filling, Error Assessment • Measure and Interpret Intra-annual Variation of NEE • Flux partitioning (GPP & Reco); assessment of metadata,e.g. Vcmax, soil respiration, LAI, biomass inventories. • Measure and Interpret Inter-annual variations of NEE • Measure NEE over multiple Land-Use Classes • crops, grasslands, deciduous and evergreen broadleaf and conifer forests • Disturbance: logging, biodiversity and fire • Manipulative Studies • Nitrogen and H2O additions • Measure NEE over Representative Areas • Scaling Flux Information of Footprint to MODIS pixel

  5. Successes • Mountains of data from a spectrum of canopy roughness conditions, functional types and climate spaces have been collected • A Model for Data Sharing • FLUXNET Web Site, a venue for distributing Primary, Value-added and Meta-Data products • Value-Added Products have been produced • Development of Gap-Filling Techniques • Production of Gap-Filled Daily and Annual Sums • Data for Validating and Improving SVAT models used for weather, climate, biogeochemistry and ecosystem dynamics • Collaboration & Synthesis through Workshops and Hosting Visitors • Building a Collaborative, Cooperative, Multi-Disciplinary & International Community of Researchers • Characterizing Annual C Fluxes • Environmental Controls on NEE • Training New and Next Generation of Scientists, Postdocs, Students

  6. ‘Failures’/’Un-resolved’ Issues • Not Measuring Night-time Fluxes Well • Not Measuring Fluxes over Complex terrain and during Advection Well • ImPerfect U* correction • New Gu Algorithm • ImPerfect Flux Partitioning • Works Better on Longer Time Scales • ImPerfect Energy Balance Closure • Could be ‘red-herring’ • Need Better Outreach and Training • Needs Expansion into other Regions • India • Africa

  7. Visions with a Flux Measurement Network • Processes • Canopy-Scale Response Functions • Emergent Processes • Flux Partitioning, NEP=GPP-Reco • Acclimation • Time • Daily/Seasonal Dynamics • Pulses, Lags, Switches • Intra- + Interannual Variability • Stand Age/Disturbance • Space • Climate/Structure/Function • Coherence/Gradients • Upscaling with Remote Sensing • New Directions
